Team

Founding Story

the idea was motivated by the way topical medicines function and the way they affect the skin once so at the beginning the aim was to create a body lotion that will keep you warm during extreme weather e.g keep you cool when the weather is very hot or warm you up when its very hot but the problem was that we had to change the temperature of the skin and the ingredients that we had to use they were not mild on the skin and we did more research and we cam e acroos the hot flash topic and the many people that it affects and we spoke to few ladies nothing formal and they told me that they would love for such a product to be in the market
